>ROCK IS DEAD Holy shit how does it feel to be so wrong,

You have 10 seconds to name a rock band from the last 25 years that is both critically acclaimed and culturally relevant. Please note that commercial success is not synonymous with cultural relevance.

Impossible Mode: No Nirvana.

Oh wait, you can't.

R.I.P Rock

Please note:
>The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Queens of the Stone Age, The Mars Volta, Franz Ferdinand, The Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, Bloc Party, The Libertines, Blur, Pulp, Suede, and Interpol are not culturally relevant, as they have had no real cultural impact. You're not going to hear their music being played at a high school dance or have a large number of normies sharing them on Facebook or in the future remembering them the way you would a contemporary artist who actually has made a cultural impact (e.g. Beyonce, Kendrick, Kanye, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber)
>Jack White is not a culturally relevant artist. Seven Nation Army may be a culturally relevant track but having only one culturally relevant track indicates a lack of longevity and thus a lack of cultural relevance as artists.
>Weezer only have one critically acclaimed album and it came out 23 years ago.
>Muse, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Tool, Kings of Leon, The 1975, Alt-J, The Black Keys, Pearl Jam, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Blink-182, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Mumford & Sons, and Red Hot Chili Peppers are not critically acclaimed.
>The Flaming Lips, Sufjan Stevens, Vampire Weekend, Tame Impala, The National, The Hold Steady, Dinosaur Jr, Deerhunter, Mac DeMarco, Porcupine Tree, Beach House, Ween, Titus Andronicus, Bon Iver, Pixies, Spoon, Pavement and Modest Mouse are far too niche to be considered culturally relevant. This is also true for all metal.
>R.E.M., Bruce Springsteen, and U2 have not been critically acclaimed in the last 25 years.
>LCD Soundsystem, Radiohead and Arcade Fire are not rock bands

is he the next scott walker?

Any form of rock will never die!

>>72752964
I think you're wrong fully.

>>72753006
Then prove him wrong by naming one

>>72752964
What about Peter Stevenage? He's a critic and acclaims all of those

>>72752964
>thinking this hard about arbitrary genre distinctions and trying to quantify subjective categories like "cultural relevance"

weak, one-dimensional analysis tbqh

>>72752964
radiohead is a rock band you shermhead

>>72753050
And too rooted in the 2010's in America. Half those bands were huge 10+ years ago, just not as much currently or they're bigger in Britain (Artic Monkeys, Blur)

>>72752964
chill bruh

>>72752964
>radiohead is not a rock band
I kek'd.
>the strokes, queens of the stone age, smashing pumpkins, oasis, suede, interpol are not culturally relevant
Songs from all of these bands literally just played at a dance at my college just last week. How does it feel to be this autistic

>>72753021
Naming one what? A band that made a difference with their music or even revolutionised a scene, culture, and or individual's themselves?

Critical acclaim and "cultural relevance" is all dictated by record producers and they arbitrarily decided that coal black nogs should be pushed as cool on an entirely political basis.

Also as you yourself pointed out "cultural relevance" probably means your music is shit, just like Nirvana's was.

If Arcade Fire isnt rock what is it?

What about The Killers?

>>72752986
I hope you will, though

>>72752981
Not yet but I unironically believe he could be given time.
